Why is Firmino not throwing his head on that? Great ball by Robbo.

Full of Ham playing with Full of Confidence

Surely VAR jad to give a free on Salah no. Matter what way you look at it the Fulham player pushed him i nthe back with 2 hands

Var and Liverpool don't really go together all that well.

So your point is pointless. Unless you support racism.

Exhibit A on why you won't find many players commenting publicly on the knee thing.

Evra must be the worst pundit Sky have.

It was a push on Salah. Does it matter if it was only a little push? No. Salah was setting himself to compete for the header and he was pushed. Goal should never have stood.

It looks like he Put his hands up to stop salah falling in on top of him he is allowed do that.

Salah used theatrics to exaggerate the contact so he got what he deserved.

Lucas Hood

Henderson CB strange.

That is a laughable penalty. Rule is a complete farce.

Thats nothing new with Salah

Right decision but that is a stinking law

DVDM93

Excellent decision by the referee for the Liverpool penalty.

Well done Andre Marriner.

VAR wasn't even needed & that's saying a lot in this day & age.

As you were then.

Southampton and possibly Leicester the big winners this weekend at the top.

I think Fulham will be the more disapointed of the two teams. Klopp looks relieved.

Thank you Lucas Hood, I appreciate the correction & I've since edited my post to show this, my bad on that one.

Liverpool very lucky result today but incredible injury list with 3 more added today, even the most ardent haters cant deny that.

Mod: post about the thread topic or don't bother posting please.

This is the premier league thread and posters are welcome to post about games.

Snippy comments against members for doing so are not welcome

If Liverpool finish top 4 at this rate I'll be shocked!

Henderson and Fabinho centre backs!

Jota, Keita confirmed today.

Matip went off injured during the match.

If that's all I have to be embarrassed about compared to some posters on this forum today then I'll have had a good day to be fair.

Thank you though Sam, I appreciate you being embarrassed on my behalf.

Souness and Evra are spot on about the Fulham penalty they should feel robbed today.

Whaaaaa Liverpool battered them 2nd half.

DVDM93

It's great to be joint top of the table on points against all odds.

Between the Covid cases, VAR going against us twice as much as the next team & the never-ending injury list (you can add Jota, Keita & Matip to that list after today too) it really shouldn't be the case, but here we are.

And still needed to rely on a poor rule to get a peno to get a point thats not battering thats really poor attacking play.

Fulham had better chances in first half and should of had penalty and been 2 or 3 goals up..

Against all odds, you have to be kidding. Playing the martyrs now.

That faux narrative was pedalled last year aswell. A greater underdog story than Vince Vaughan's dodgeball team :pac:

Champions and best team in the league is joint top (they are second) against all odds, I have read it all now.

I find it strange that the manager complained so much about injuries and fixtures and then played his big guns in a game that meant very little and ends up with more injuries.... Thats poor team management.

Totally agree, most fans called him out even before a ball was kicked in that game.

What you mean, they were losing at half time.

8-10

Fulham fully deserved their point. Liverpool not at the races and unbelievably injuries are still mounting. The difference between home form and away form for the Champions is shocking.

No issues with a point. Fair result overall.

I'd wager that the crowd were a factor too, completely behind their players from the start and was one of those games where they just seemed first to every ball in broken play.

Massive game midweek v Spurs now. Wonder who's next to get injured.

Cheers! Was only half watching because I've been playing Cyberpunk wanted to make sure it wasn't Salah for my FPL team :pac:

That is some rain falling at Leicester.

Salah and Trent both substituted tactically. Jota out for half of the remaining games at least.

Wonder if Harvey Elliott is worth a recall in January
